On Kingdom Hearts – Plot, Side Stories and Other Nonsense

With the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Box and a reveal of what it contains, Default Prime author Kyree Leary weighs in on how trivial the DS games are, the overall plot of the series and how he wants a new Anniversary Bundle.

Ugh..I am so sick of people thinking it’s one of the best game series of all time. The only reason why Kingdom Hearts is popular is because of hardcore Disney nerds. It is definitely not the best game ever made.

I don't think the series is great because of 'hardcore' Disney fans, but the fact that people were interested in seeing the outcome of such an odd crossover. It's not perfect, but it's done pretty damn well considering it's initial concept.

And despite all that, I still have this fear that Square-Enix will do to this what they did to Final Fantasy VII: Movie, needless side stories, ignoring fan outcries for a remake...

I only keep buying these games because I want closure to the series. The games are great as far as being fun, but the plot has only gotten progressively worse with each new iteration with new games being released to just expand on side stories I wasn't interested in in the first place. I'll always remember Kingdom Hearts as the series with great potential ruined by Square Enix's greed.
